Subject: Who here likes Halo 3 better than Reach?

It seemed to me that halo 3 took a lot more skill than halo reach. And there seemed to be less O.o deaths if you know what I mean.

Yeah, same here.

THE S4UCE IS THE B055

i like reach multiplayer better, cause halo 3 just gives me the worst teammates ever.

I like reach better too because of its matchmaking

Despite my work in H3, I prefer Reach, since it has some decent weapons that can actually get a kill (although they are not all fun to use) and it removed all possibility of doing things like huge AI collections and customizing one's way of approaching a battle. That's not as infuriating as how H3 allows it but made it extremely difficult and frustrating.

Basically, Reach is pretty honest. H3 is deceptive. Things that look like they work are easily thwarted. Just now, I tried to get all the ODSTs on The Ark intact (as they are disobedient twits) so I could bring the 4 marines (also disobedient idiots) in the next area in the Mongooses and place them at the area with those Covie camping stools and supply cases so I could brute shot them up and have a force of 8 marines. Blocking the ODSTs with a deployable cover turned out to be ineffective since the game ended up deleting the ODSTs... and I spent 40 minutes setting all this up only to find that they were gone.

Another example from the same level. You'd think you'd be able to drive the Prowler up that big rockface that would give you a great view of the crashed longsword. The Prowler has sufficient traction to go up there and guess what? You come across an invisible barrier. What would be so wrong with going to that position? There are plenty of areas that you can snipe from. That area would have just added to the fun.

H3, a major disappointment.
Reach, likewise, but at least I don't have to bother trying.

But the #1 thing about Halo games these days that makes this series a big fail. The checkpoint system. So atrocious. So annoying. And all they offer is a 5 death cp revert revert... and you need to have the save on a Xbox 360 hard drive for that to work.

You only like campaign, this isn't about the campaign this is about multiplayer and I'm guessing you were not very good at halo 3 thats why you like reach better. Ask any 50 that played halo 3 and they would say without question halo 3 is way better than reach. Reach was made for people that aren't good at video games.

Halo reach was made for people who couldn't get 50s that simple, if I wanted to play Call of Duty I would've bought call of duty just wish I knew halo reach was as bad as it was so I wouldn't have bought it. They took halo 1 renamed it and added perks lol.


you're pretty damn stupid

FYI, I don't like Reach. In fact, I suck at it even more and I have never even played it's mp as I only have the pos demo from Xbox marketplace. Furthermore, the only mp I have ever played is H1 and H3, and I enjoyed both.

Anyways, sorry. I was agitated when I typed that. I don't hate the H3 mp. It's the campaign that I have a problem with.

Really!?!?

I didn't see the part where it adds Multiplayer in the title. I'll make sure to be more observant next time.

Not the truth.

I got a bunch of 50s so that obviously doesn't apply to me.

You're still an idiot.

U Mirin?

Why don't you do any work on your chest or legs or something? You look like a cartoon character.

His little brother plays reach on his account. And Zero is infinitely better than you at Halo so you should probably stop.

We're concerned

Cafe|MLP: FiM|Bnet Regulars|FCAW
Got a question, comment, or concern? PM me.

I have no incentive to win in Reach if I am going to get the same, if not more credits than the team who won. That's why I can never get past 1st prestige in CoD because the game fails to hold my attention when I don't even have to do anything to rank up.

Also, maybe once every blue moon I will get matched up against some competitive players who know what they are doing, and actually give me a challenge when playing. All other times I run through the opposing team (~23 kills a game) without even trying. It is like I am playing social in Halo 3 but with even worse 12-year olds. It's is awfully boring.

On top of that, the game is horribly broken. Headshot boxes are 2 times larger than the actual head. Bloom is just spray and pray, whoever gets luckier when spamming the trigger faster wins. I can take down vehicles with two sniper shots, and can kill a driver of a warthog by shooting the back of it with an assualt rifle across the map.

Custom games are ruined because no one makes any good ones/no one plays them anymore.

The aesthetics are an eye-soar.

I just can't seem to have fun no matter how hard I try.

However when I play Halo 3 all of these things are eliminated. That explains why it is still my most played gamed for Xbox, even after 5 years of release and having it's population killed off by Reach, CoD, and famous multiplayer games that have come out recently.

Don't run. You'll just die tired.

Test if you like halo 3 or halo reach more:

What you gonna need:
Pair of halo fans
Two xbox 360's
One Halo 3 game
One Halo Reach game

What you gonna need to do:
Lock both fans in different rooms prepeared to play different games
Keep them there for at least 2 days
And compare the results:
The room with fan playing halo 3 will look like the same, and you gonna find him playing match making on guardian or so...


On the other hand, when you open the room containing halo reach fan..
All the furniture will be broken, tv smashed, xbox will be scrached with nails
A halo reach fan laying on ground, with veins cutten using a piece of broken halo reach disc...


Speaking in short: yea, Halo Reach feels like a long, hard, terrible, unpaid workday after two hours of playing it.
On the other hand, Halo 3 is something that made my bed feel lonely at nights...
And so it does still.

Love Bungie for Halo 3
Blame Stosh for Halo Reach

Exactly, no challenge at all. You don't have to do anything at all to rank up and it is no challenge going + 30 every game. MLG halo 3 is the game that takes the most skill hands down to date. Maybe halo 4 will dethrone halo 3, but I doubt it.

Lol, played a lot of people who thought they were good until they played MLG. Once they took away shotgun and radar all their skill seemed to vanish...
